Temples Temples Temples (and 3 tombs) ~ Day 99-100

So far we have been be temple #1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Let's continue...

Temple #7

We went to a temple called Kim Ombi temple, where they had mummified crocodiles, and a got a necklace with my name in hieroglyphics

Temple #8

We went to a temple called Luxor temple, after sailing to Luxor. It was late, and there wasn;t much there except a obelisk, and a 2km path lived with hundred of sphinx.

Temple # 9

We went to another temple called Karnak temple. It was massive, and 80,000 people had lived there, which is double the size of Orange. There was a lake there, which used to join up to the Nile, but ever since they build the dam in Aswan, the Nile level has dropped, and is now 2km away. Even the pyramids used to be up at the border of the Nile.

There was a stone you walked around 3 times after making a wish you wanted to come true. But you had to walk around 5 times for marriage, and 7 times for a baby. We all walked around 3 times, but dad kept going, mum asked why, and he said "I'm walking around 5 times!".

Temple # 10

We went to Habu temple right before flying back to Cairo. Not much in it, except the first ever toilet!

You can't forgot the 4 tombs.

Tomb #1

We went to the tombs of King Ramesus the 6th, where there was a barrier and the sarcophagus. There was a guy that told me to climb over the barrier and go down to the tomb it take a photo. I did, and when I came back up he wanted mum to give him a tip.

Tomb #2

In the other tomb, there was also some hieroglyphics and a sarcophagus, and there was another person trying to charge us to take a photo.

Tomb #3

This was similar to the first, with a guy trying to charge us to break the law.

Tomb #4

The final tomb was what I'd been waiting for the whole trip. Even better, there were no people wanting money. This was the tomb of.....

Tutankhamun

You could see his sarcophagus and his real body! Which is basically the same as all the other mummy's we have seen.
